Try by removing the Bios Battery. Usually it is allocated under KB or aside RAM modules.
I copied this info from a website since it needs a very particular solution. The only time I had to use it, it worked.
Go to setup (if it lets you) and check the BIOS brand and version.
(If you cant do anything due to the password, then you need some hardware to do that). I hope this helps

Remember that what you see listed may not be the actual backdoor BIOS
password, this BIOS password may simply have the same checksum as the
real backdoor BIOS password. For Award BIOS, this checksum is stored at
F000:EC60.
Resetting the BIOS Password using Software
Every system must store the BIOS password information somewhere. If
you are able to access the machine after it has been booted
successfully, you may be able to view the BIOS password. You must know
the memory address where the BIOS password is stored, and the format in
which the BIOS password is stored. Or, you must have a program that
knows these things.
You can write your own program to read the BIOS password from the
CMOS memory on a PC by writing the address of the byte of CMOS memory
that you wish to read in port 0x370, and then reading the contents of
port 0x371.
!BIOS will recover the BIOS password
for most common BIOS versions, including IBM, American Megatrends Inc,
Award and Phoenix.
CmosPwd will recover the BIOS password for the
following BIOS versions:
